Well judging by his twitter he's having the time of his life...
-Getting engaged
-Having a child
-Touring the world
-Looks physically well

His last tweet that he'd love to come back on tour this year. But I highly doubt it, well, I'm sure he'll start to practice but he'll weigh up the cost and benefits and realise he hasn't got the passion to compete again.

Inevitable end for Robin Soderling.

this is what I was thinking. Im sure he wants to get back to competing, but once he's back he might not have his heart in it anymore, after all of this off time. Who knows though? I hope he could come back, get near his old form, and stay. He was fun to watch.

soderking slaughtered the bull. he was never the same. mission accomplished and soderking can retire with good reputation

Yeah, 2 years later he decided he's had enough and can die happy after beating Nadal at RG. :lol: Too bad for him he only managed to beat Nadal one more time after that at the WTF the same year where Nadal was a mess. Since then, he's taken a whole 1 set off of Nadal in 3 matches, and owns a losing 2-7 h2h against Nadal.

Benefits being the key word there. With a wife and child on the way it would be hard to give up the money that comes with top tennis sponsorship's and prize money.

mono is transferred primarily via saliva hence "the kissing disease" moniker. However a person with mono can also pass the virus by coughing or sneezing, causing droplets of infected saliva and/or mucus to be suspended in the air which can be inhaled by others. The virus can also be transferred via secretion which might be a factor in Soderling's case. Being in contact with sweaty trainers or even a mono-riddled ball kid handing him a towel. It can also be transferred via food/drink. All the travel and constantly eating out leaves tour players more susceptible. If he has a weaker immune system he's more susceptible as well.

Who cares. Dude had one miracle slam run. (like Rosol) and people begin overrating the guy like he was an all time great

It's a huge insult to Soderling to compare him to a one match fluke like Rosol. Soderling was a top 10 player from the time of his breakthrough until his injury. In fact, he won his last tournament he played in by destroying the current world #5 and #6. He was definitely the 5th best player in the world before he got mono.

Rosol didn't have a miracle Slam run. His best ever showing in Slams was a 3rd round appearance at 2011 RG and 2012 Wimbledon. His only claim to fame is beating Nadal in the 2nd round of Wimbledon and thus being the last guy ever to play him (at least at this point).

After beating Nadal at 2009 RG, Soderling went on to play the final where he lost to Fed. He also made the final of RG the following year where Rafa managed to get his revenge. He was a top 10 player, a whole different kettle of fish to Rosol!
